Hello,

I use open_agb_firm on my modded 3DS to play some GBA games.

I have some .sav files from a flashcard on my GBA and wanted to put them in the /3ds/open_agb_firm/saves folder. Majority of the games found the .sav files, but some don't.

It seems that's the 8192kb that are not working. The other ones (in blue on the image) are working fine.

Someone more knowledgeable can explain me why, is it possible to change something in open_agb_firm to make it work, or maybe convert the .sav file to a readable equivalent ?

Also a bit off-topic, but I'd like to use the circle pad with the GBA games, how can I do that ?

Thank you !

I disconected my New 3DS SD Card to put some games on, but the moment I wanted to turn it on again (with the SD card inside obviously) it says some ARM9 error, and I didn't find anything about it online, I tried finding something to format it, but everything says to do it inside the console, which I can't cuz I can't turn it on, help!

I purchased a Japanese 3ds that had already been region swapped so I swapped it back to Japanese so I could use pokemon bank but now I’m getting the error code 005-5958

I've seen people run Tiny11 on things that really shouldnt run windows, some even as low as 1gb of ram. Could we theoretically get Tiny11 running on a new 3ds? It can run on an arm processor and can run on 2GB of ram, but with tweaking can run on less.

I tried installing scribblenauts on hShop (internet archive didnt work unsure why) and its saying it needs 10minutes to install? is this because of my sd card speed or something related? im planning on installing multiple games so im praying theres a faster way, maybe making a folder on the sd card and installing cia files directly? any help is suppperr appreciated as i just finished home brewing and new to this🙏🏽

Is there any way to have the top and bottom screen having different themes on n3ds? I mean like top screen from theme 1 and bottom screen from theme 2 or do they both have to be the same?

So I install Twilight menu from universal updater app and it shows up on the 3ds menu screen. When I click on Twilight menu, it just shows a blank white screen and nothing happens.

I tried uninstalling twilight menu and reinstalled but it still shows a white screen. Anyone know how I can get it to work?

I was about to start pirating something so i switched my sd card because i ran out of storage and yesterday i put the sd card i took out back in to play pokemon oras but when i had to redownload it all my data was gone is there any way i can restore it?

I like the way crt looks, and was wondering if i could mimic the effect for it on snes9x on the 3ds

I downloaded custom-install and went through all the steps- put the seeddb.bin in the gb9 support folder, got boot9 and moveable.sed, etc etc. It downloaded onto the SD card just fine, and then I updated it with hshop. But whenever i try to open it, it gets past the 3ds load screen before abruptly going black. The power light is still on during this, but eventually it just loads back to the home screen. What's going on?

This is on a old 3ds I bought, with the most recent luma/gm9/etc

I have a New 3DS XL, and I know of software that lets me wirelessly stream, but I was wondering if combining an elgato capture card with a 3ds to hdmi adapter would be a solution to streaming off my 3DS.

I just wanted to name them all by their respective names but I have no idea what "m5" could mean...

Hey all! I homebrewed my 3ds yesterday and downloaded a few games. I played it this morning and then looked thru the software on the 3ds itself, just seeing how many blocks each game takes up. I put it to sleep and then when I opened it back up it just….bricked? The godmode 9 software will load but for some reason it wont go to the he home screen or actually work in any way. I tried taking the SD card out to see if it would work and it didn’t. Any tips or advice are welcome. Thanks!

Let me explain, I have had this 3DS since I was little, it is a little tired boss, and I would like to hack a 3DS to be able to play more games and be able to play online.

But in this 3ds I have purchased many things from the eshop, games, games and the thing is that apart from bricking, I would like to keep everything in that original 3ds, without anything external, everything og.

So I had thought about buying another 3ds to hack this one. Is this nonsense? Should I hack the other one?

Hey gang.

I recently picked up Bowser's Inside Story for the DS to add to my collection.

Naturally I've now spent all my money and so for efficiency's sake thought I'd pop Superstar Saga on my 3DS as well.

I wondered if anyone else has gotten it to run? Since I just get a white screen.

I see some peeps have gotten it to run with the VC inject method, but I prefer using the mGBA emu personally.

I've tried a couple of ROMs and got the same with both.

Not a huge deal since I have other means to play GBA, but just thought I'd check if there was a workaround or patch out there to get it to run. This is literally the first game I've ever had any major issues like this running through the app.

I have a huge amount of Pokémon games on my 3ds and I wanted to replay some of my childhood (X - Alpha Saphirre), but wanted to make it easier to obtain shinies,, is there a 3ds tool that can be useful for this ? I'm talking not to transfer the files to my PC and redownloading it on my 3ds etc.. only using my console. Is it possible ?

Just bought a Amazon basic sd card off Amazon and it was a 128gb( no games or anything preinstalled on it, it’s brand new), I inserted it and it wouldn’t read so I took it out and now my 3Ds won’t turn back on even with the charger plugged in, not sure if I need to get a compatible sd card to make it work again or if I bricked it? I’m worried and would appreciate any help I can get on this!🙏

I'm looking to have my console repaired at nintendo but everyone knows you can't send it in with homebrew on it or they'll refuse to service you. I have the latest install of everything. I'm a visual learner so a few videos would help. Does anyone know of a few current videos to help? I'm assuming the "uninstall CFW" page on the 3ds hacks guide can uninstall everything I need but I just want to ask just in case.

So I just recently modded my 2ds and whenever I try playing Pokémon platinum it works for the most part but randomly the screen goes black. Has anyone else had this problem or is there a fix? Thanks

I want to use L+R+Select to soft reset for celebi, rather than A+B+Start+Select. Is there a software I can use to change this?

How would I go about backing up original ds games I really want to make sure my Pokémon save files are backed up am I able to place them onto checkpoint because it only seems 3ds games appear there any help would be much appreciated

Whatever team or person that made that site you the MVP, Just got my first 3DS(2DSXL) never had a DS variant growing up and I followed that guide and had it done in 25 minutes. Easiest guide I have ever followed in my life. May your pillows forever be cool and your boogers forever picked.

I recently homebrewed my 3ds and downloaded a bunch of games. I got terraria from the hshop and was excited to play it. Unfortunately, when I tried to make a world and spawn in, my screen went black and showed an error saying “an exception has occurred.” It said that I had an arm-11 processor and that the problem had to do with a transitional-sector. I’m like 85% sure that it doesn’t have much to do with my sd card, and I haven’t found a definitive answer to my problem that isn’t outdated. Can anyone help me?
